Maxed out my Roth IRA!
« on: August 04, 2015, 08:35:51 AM »
Woooot! $5,500 contributed to my Roth IRA! Time to up my 401k contribution and really start saving for a down payment!

I want to make it a habit to fully fund my Roth IRA in January with my year end bonus and savings - that way, I don't have to think about it for the rest of the year, just sit back and watch it grow! :)

Congrats!

Would you be better off with a T.IRA? Or do you make too much to contribute? If you make too much, then generally maxing the 401k first is the way to go if the fees are reasonable.
